developper vs youtube sensation is fan reaction now? :p 'There seems to be some “tension” between the indie developer Mojang and the youtube sensation that is the Yogscast.`

Among sports fans, drunken fights aren't all that uncommon. Large groups of them have even been known to riot when their collective favourite team loses/wins some 'important' game. This is common to the extent that you can expect to read about it happening in various places around the world a few times a year. It's certainly a different kind of monster, but is it any less ridiculous?

this is not the same thing; are you familiar with Durkheim theory of the social courant? It's outside of the individual conscience and can bring him to perfom action he would'nt perfom in the first place.

It's the same damn thing, the only difference is that my example was in the macroscopic level, your example was in the microscopic level.

You ready?

Pegasisters.

I believe "brony" to be a gender neutral term, and I find pegasisters do be kind of stupid. It's not a word I'll use.

so a phrase gives me intention now? ... phrase that I placed after I put arguments in place. If you can't really discuss without calling people dumb and etc, doesn't that make you a troll? a bad one, but a troll?

We're talking about fandoms. This line of thinking would imply that Sports fandoms are worse than other fandoms because their share of problems are en masse, whereas other fandoms have a creepy minority that doesn't rightly represent the whole (can be disregarded as being the extreme cases). It's not the same thing, but as I said, it's a different kind of monster, one that's apparently overshadowing the other. Maybe this is exactly what you're saying, I have no idea, I'm just following up on it.

they're not worse then any fandom... the riot are just produced by three possible theorie - the one stated before - freud: crowd behaviort theory is that people who are in a crowd act differently towards people from those who are thinking individually. The minds of the group would merge to form a way of thinking. Each member's enthusiasm would be increased as a result, and one becomes less aware of the true nature of one's actions. - and the convergence: like minded people gathers to form to crowd, thus the crowd is the expression of this state of mind

Can we bring this back on topic to mlp?


There was a announcement a while back the bare minimum needed of dvds bought to justify a box set is 300k. So it should be pretty easy for bronies to make this happen.

Yeah, that's what I was understanding. How are they not worse than other fandoms for that reason though? A fandom is a crowd of like-minded people in that they share a specific interest. To judge and compare the fandoms themselves requires considering what they do as a crowd. Paying any attention to individuals has nothing to do with crowd-think at all, it's just someone's personal psychology, thus it has almost nothing to do with any fandom they associate to. It would be wrong to assume that "all sports fans are perfectly sane", just like it would be to assume the same of everyone in any other fandom... there are weird people of all interests, so there is no insight in that.

Sports fan crowd-think has lead to riots. As your point goes, this is a product of the fandom, not of the individuals within the fandom. Few fandoms can claim cause to this kind of carnage. It seems fairly rational to say it is comparatively worse.

there other factors to take in consideration too in a riot; sometime it's just the fan, but sometime, it can be sometime else. Ex: http://thetyee.ca/Life/2011/05/27/HockeyRiotMyths/
the point is: to understand a riot, the surrounding have to be studied too, as it can influence the creation and the mentality of the said riot

Was that within the past couple days? The EQD announcement with copy-pasta from some guy who works at the company producing the DVDs? I was honestly disappointed with how dumb of a read it was. I understand that there are certain criteria to follow for them to safely make money within their own business' setup, but overall it seemed like excuses for the lazy and unmotivated business man.

Good money has been made off of things with far less of a following than MLP has gained. I have a strong feeling that they would make a killing off of box sets if they puts some creative marketing thought into it. I get the impression that they only see a "Yes/No" scenario, because they just lack motivation to pursue anything. The MLP fandom is of an impressive scale, and any businessman saying they can't make money off of it is lying or lazy. I'm rather jaded towards the excuses.

^Seriously guys, we've derailed. Bring your point back round circle. I know you're debating about groups of fans in general, but you've drifted off topic.

For example, http://www.welovefine.com/wp/?p=854
We lovefinetees is giving away free stuff if you buy dj-pon-3 shirts.
